I have searched everywhere and about every forum. I am trying to count the characters in a sting before a space. Here is the example of what I am trying to accomplish.

"2073 9187463 2700' 4 7 4, the string character count is 4 before the space, 7 is the count before the next space and the last is the last in the string, if there was more characters within this string for example....'2073 9187463 2700 7023 6044567' it would return the number of characters in the string before the space and at the very end of it.

This doesn't work for what I am wanting, it is counting the spaces, It doesn't count the characters before the spaces, as you see in the data below for 5...It should be 3 for the first set of 5's and 2 for the 2nd set of 5's. I am not sure what this is doing with the numbers, instead of a comma I changed to (' ') a space.
